The Vampires Slot

The vampires is one of the latest games I have explored. I was playing at Betstreak casino with a decent balance and this was the first game to spoke to me. It isn't a surprise that I am a huge fan for vampire theme, when it's done good I love everything with this theme.

The vampires is a slot from Endorphina software provider and I am not too familiar with their games, however, I'd like to change that. This slot offers betting on 25 pay lines and has two bonus rounds.

It's safe to say that the similarities this game shares with Netent's Bloodsuckers slot are very visible. In the design there are vampire symbols, blood and other things you'd expect from such subject. But when it comes to bonus features, this game is literally almost the same as Bloodsuckers.

I have to say that even though this game looks like a different version of Netent's slot, I still quite like it. The bonus round is triggered by three or more bonus symbols on an active pay line and you get to go to the graveyard and pick coffins that reveal your win. With this bonus feature I've won close to 100x bet and what's good is that it comes up quite often.

But of course as it usually is, the star of the show is the free spins bonus. It's triggered with 3 scatter symbols and you get 13 free spins with 3x multiplier. Although so far I haven't got over 100x bet win, I think this feature can be quite rewarding and many times it helped me to boost my balance from few euros to a decent amount.

Overall I feel like this is a game I will play whenever I am at a casino that doesn't offer Netent or Microgaming, but has Endorphina games. I think that the design is really attractive and the game so far seemed to be a good option for wagering purposes with it's frequent winnings. I'd recommend to try it.

When a slot game becomes popular there are many unscrupulous developers who will spend a great amount of time studying that game and copying its mechanics to develop their own game, in the hope that it will prove as big a money spinner as the one they have cloned. Blood Suckers from NetEnt is such a game - such is the voracity of on-line slot game developers that many have seen fit to copy not just the mechanics of that game, but many clones of Blood Suckers actually copy the entire look and theme of the game as well - Dark Thirst from 1x2 Gaming is one such example, and this one, "The Vampires", is another - its a very nicely done example of this blatantly theft of ideas, but nothing but a clone none the less.

There's no known RTP figure for The Vampires, but its a fair guess that it will return at least something close to "Blood Suckers". That means this game is a good bet for bonus play, if it is allowed at the on-line casinos you choose to play at, as there is a very low risk per spin compared to many other slot games. I would take a guess that the on-line slot developers did not foresee the wide scale banning of Blood Suckers for bonus play when they set about creating these clone games, and despite the fact that these copies exist is a well known truth amongst on-line gamblers, many casinos are still playing catch up when it comes to banning these rip offs from bonus play.

I recommend reading the reviews of NetEnts "Blood Suckers" if you wish to become familiar with the intricacies of this game, as they really are all but identical. Their are eight main symbols on the reels, plus scatters, wilds and bonus symbols, all of which have exactly the same payouts as the original, the bonus rounds play out just the same, and there are 25 lines once again as well. Absolutely no original thought has gone into creating this slot. I won't say that this is automatically a bad thing because this practice is so common, and the game does play very well regardless, but I mark this one down for a huge lack or originality.

The vampires is a 5 reel 3 row video slot game with 25 paylines. It is powered by Endorphina software provider. I like the theme here, I like to play vampire themed games sometimes. I like Immortal romance, Blood suckers and a few others with this theme. I tried this game only once while I was playing at Videoslots casino, but I do not like it so much.

The game offer bonus game and free spins feature. Bonus game is fun and it appears quite often. At least while I was playing it. When the bonus game is trigger, you have to choose some braves and you get cash prizes. Free spins feature is nice, but I do not like it so much. Here the winnings are at x3 multiplier; you get 10 free games when you get three or more scatters on the reels.

While I was playing it, i had free spins only once. The results was only around x10 bet at the end of free games, which is not good. Well, I didn't have enough luck to catch something bigger from them, most of the free spins were empty spins. And to be honest I rather play other games from Endorphina which have special expanded symbol into feature. For me those features are much more fun than this one here with x3 multiplier.

The bonus game is nice and fun, while I was playing it I got it at least 4 times. Twice I ended bonus game without any win and twice I had winnings around 15€ from min bet. This bonus game could raise your balance very fast in a short time and I think it appears quite often. I will rate The vampires with 6 out of 10 possible stars, maybe I will play it again, sometimes in future.

I do not like that no matter how many scatters you get on the reels – you are awarded with 10 free spins. The feature has no special expanded symbols so maybe there could be more free spins for 4 and 5 scatters.
